Fuel leaking from fuel filter housing!

Noticed yesterday that, when the truck is running, I have fuel dripping from what looks like the fuel filter housing. For those who will ask, I had the filter changed 2 or 3 months ago, so that's not the problem. It's dripping about a drop a second, but at $2.11/gal I'd rather burn it instead of dropping it on the ground!! Has anyone else had this problem & what did you do to fix it?? Thanks in advance!

Did you try to tighten the top? Takes a 1 1/8 socket. If that doesnt work, unscrew the top, and check to see if the o-ring is in place or cut. New filters come with the o-ring so if theres a problem by a new filter.

I thought it wouldn't be that hard to fix, but that's almost too simple! Thanks!
